On my recently blog I have told you that I’m getting worse. Edronax 4mg didn’t help me and Lexapro 10mg doesn’t work anymore. But I’m here to tell you that something change.
I met my doctor on 21 November and told him about my depression issue. We talked a lot but I had better summarize these thing. If i ever getting better on Lexapro although it was a short time that mean Lexapro works on me. For the getting worse issue, there are many ways to fix this. One is I already tried; adding another drug to combination with Lexapro (in my case it was Edronax) and it doesn’t work. The other ways are to raise the dosage of Lexapro or change Lexapro to others. In that moment, i was thinking about side effect when my body get the new drug; it was the nightmare. So i decided to raise the dosage of Lexapro from 10mg to 20mg.
On the first two weeks of taking Lexapro 20mg, it was terrible time. I experience some side effect like I did the one before (not too much like the first time on Lexapro). I feel desperate and hopeless on that time. I didn’t expect to wake up one day miraculously change my feeling. But I think I still exactly the same, nothing seems to change.
But one day I realize that where beforehand I would look on to doing something with trepidation, and I wouldn’t be able to motivate myself to do anything. Now I seem to just get up and do it ! It was creep in very slowly and unnoticed at first. Today is the 17th day of taking Lexapro 20mg. I feel I was change to the new one. I’m happier. I can more socialize with people. I have more motivation to do everything. Inspiration is just all around me. I am passionate about many things in life. I can see the bright side of mine. I can sleep better (but still need Circadin haha) And the last one of downside that impact my life is I’m losing my libido haha. BUT IT IS WORTH !! 🙂
